"You're the strongest ninja in our village. If they claimed that they had inexplicably killed their own employer, naturally, many people wouldn't believe it. But if they said that you controlled their thoughts and actions..."
"Then I imagine many people would believe them."
Hearing Miss Kobayashi's words, Uchiha Hikaru smiled softly. He had not expected this young girl's thoughts to be so unconstrained; she had even considered something like this.
Uchiha Hikaru showed no concern at all as he said:
"Don't worry, Yui. My Sharingan's abilities aren't that simple. I wouldn't send them back with the guards without making preparations."
Hearing Uchiha Hikaru's words, Miss Kobayashi had some doubts. Could Uchiha Hikaru really have some other method?
Uchiha Hikaru continued with a smile:
"Let me tell you. When I controlled them, I also quietly altered their memories. Even after they wake up, they won't remember ever meeting us."
Only then did Miss Kobayashi feel relieved after hearing Uchiha Hikaru's words. As long as he did not get himself into trouble because of her, that was enough.
She raised her head and smiled at Uchiha Hikaru before saying:
"I never knew your abilities were this powerful. I thought you were only good at fighting. So you can even control their minds."
Uchiha Hikaru smiled softly at Miss Kobayashi's words and said:
"This ability of mine isn't actually that powerful. Ito Taro was just too ridiculous. If he hadn't used money to stir up those bodyguards' desires, I might really have had no choice but to force my way through."
Miss Kobayashi froze slightly at Uchiha Hikaru's words, then looked up at him, not understanding what he meant at all.
Did that mean he was strong or not?
She tilted her head at Uchiha Hikaru and asked incredulously:
"What do you mean?
